What Are Saturdays For?

First, thank you ALL for your sweet comments on Pajamas With a Plan! It means a lot to me, and I’m so glad everything came together. You guys are the best! 😀

This week has been the craziest week in a long time! I had exams and papers due every day, Friday was the fund raiser and then Saturday I worked at the Farmer’s Market all morning and then went right to babysit until 9:30. 14 hour work day? Sure, I’m game!! 😉

Today was the first day in 14 days that I actually had a sit down relaxing breakfast!! This was the perfect start to my week off.

I went to the market to buy food for the week and for guest tonight, and I’m making a roast (Father’s orders) and roasted diced veggies. I may not eat meat often, but I’m defiantly not afraid to cook it!

The rub.

Zesty’s coffee marinated flank steak looked really intriguing, but I knew I didn’t have time to marinate the meat so I incorporated instant coffee in the rub. Hopefully it will turn out nice!

There’s no counter space because my dad is tiling our island. Here’s the work in progress:

I’ll put up some after pictures, because it’s coming along really nice! (Only my parents are crazy enough to invite guest while we’re in the middle of tiling the kitchen and installing baseboard.)

Recipes and photos of the dinner to come!

In unrelated news:

That would be “I heart What Einstein Told His Cook 2” (That apple wasn’t half bad either!) If you have any interest in science or food science, check out this book. It’s such a fun read and I really like the author- he’s so quirky!

Wow those are long swim workouts! Just wondering, do you swim straight for an hour without stopping or do you take breaks in between? I’d love to incorporate some swimming into my routine this summer 🙂

I found your blog through HEAB, and love, love, love it! I’m already a follower. All your ‘concoctions’ are spectacular! May you are truly amazing! And just in high school — you’ve got a wonderful life ahead.

I share your love of OIAJ (oats in a jar), but I need to get me some of that saratoga PB! Will they ship to Wyoming? do you think? Nom!
